Finally a Worthy Opponent

While Luo Feng was making his move inside the headquarters of the Blood Python Society, chaos erupted outside.

A patrolling Huyang Guard unit was riding the mechanical treasure "Fire Yun Snake," a winding, fiery red serpent that traversed the void and quickly arrived near the Blood Python Society headquarters. A booming voice spread out, "All cultivators, evacuate the 'Earth Net' area immediately!"

The power of heaven and earth condensed into ropes, forming the Earth Net formation, encircling the headquarters of the Blood Python Society.

The location of the Blood Python Society headquarters was not particularly advantageous, far inferior to the 'Chaos Armor Zone' area, so the mansions here were also quite cheap. Naturally, the entire headquarters of the Blood Python Society was enormous, with a length and width of ten billion kilometers.

However, the Earth Net formation's coverage was thirty billion kilometers in diameter at this moment!

"Retreat."

"Hurry, retreat." The cultivators from various races who were watching from afar quickly withdrew, moving beyond the range of the giant Earth Net. Morosa and Mo Yuqingyan also retreated with the crowd.

"The master's commotion..." Mo Yuqingyan was a bit nervous.

Morosa observed closely, ready to respond to any unexpected events.

At this moment, within the huge plant "Vine Jiao Legion" floating above the east gate of Huyang City.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Close all the Vine Jiao hatches."

The Vine Jiao Legion, one of the ten major legions of Huyang City, was urgently mobilized. The countless true gods who were originally entering and exiting along the vines could only leap down quickly as the hatches closed.

The entire Vine Jiao Legion began operating, led by a top-tier Eternal True God, commanding over ten thousand void true gods and tens of millions of elite true gods, driving this enormous legion-type mechanical treasure. Its power was naturally terrifying.

The large number of true gods who could usually enter and exit were non-duty true gods!

The on-duty true gods numbered in the tens of millions and could not leave their posts.

"The Vine Jiao Legion, there's currently a battle happening at the Blood Python Society headquarters in Huyang City." In the core chamber of the Vine Jiao Legion, General Jiang Chengrong of the Vine Jiao Legion was listening to the orders of Supreme Commander Mo Li Xiao, "I have only one requirement: ensure that the battle within the Blood Python Society headquarters does not spill over and harm innocents! Anyone who causes harm will not be spared! As for the lives within the Blood Python Society? There's no need to intervene."

"Rest assured, Commander Mo Li!" Jiang Chengrong smiled, "Anyone who disrupts the order of Huyang City will face the full might of the Vine Jiao Legion."

The phantom of Mo Li Xiao in front of him had four purple curved horns resembling a crown and a somewhat aged face. Even as a phantom, there was a strong sense of oppression. He was the most powerful existence among the five great families of the City Lord's Mansion.

Jiang Chengrong, even as an Eternal True God from the Nine Jiang Marquis' 'Jiang family,' admired Mo Li Xiao greatly. Mo Li Xiao was the strongest Eternal True God he had ever seen!

"Rumble~~~"

The Vine Jiao Legion moved into action.

The ten major legions of Huyang City, along with the Huyang Guards, were not restricted by the city's grand formation, allowing them to traverse the void directly. It only took a little time for the higher-ups to decide, issue orders, and mobilize the legion. The legion itself could traverse the void in the blink of an eye, arriving above the Blood Python Society headquarters.

"What is this?"

Outside the headquarters of the Blood Python Society, the cultivators from various races saw the enormous plant crossing the void.

"It's the Vine Jiao Legion."

"The Vine Jiao Legion is one of the ten major legions of Huyang City, and the entire legion has been mobilized?" The observing cultivators were astonished.

"In usual conflicts involving violations of the laws within Huyang City, or clashes between dark forces, it's typically handled by the Huyang Guards. But this time, the entire legion has been mobilized. It seems that the battle within the Blood Python Society headquarters is too terrifying! The Huyang Guards can no longer suppress it."

"It's likely that the most terrifying beings within Huyang City are fighting. We should retreat further! The Huyang Legion might not be able to protect us."

Many of the observing cultivators drove their flying boats even further away, retreating tens of billions of kilometers. With their true god-level observation abilities, they could still see the Blood Python Society headquarters from a distance.

Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~~

The Vine Jiao Legion hovered above the Blood Python Society headquarters, and countless vines spread out, completely enveloping and wrapping the headquarters. However, these vines did not penetrate the small universe domain.

It was clear that they did not want to get involved in the internal conflict.

"I wonder who is fighting the Blood Python Society." General Jiang Chengrong of the Vine Jiao Legion looked down, "During the day, countless tribes come to Huyang City to conduct trade. After nightfall, all non-residents of Huyang City must leave."

"During the day, when it's most lively and bustling, the City Lord's Mansion will not allow any harm to the innocent." Jiang Chengrong and his men were determined to maintain order.

For example, the residences of true gods were absolutely safe, with vast formations protecting the countless true gods' residences, preventing dark forces from invading. This allowed them to cultivate in peace.

During the day, in the bustling areas, anyone daring to kill would be seen and remembered by many true gods. With evidence in hand, the City Lord's Mansion had to take action.

Dark forces had to operate in remote areas.

This was why most residents dared not to pay the 'residence fee' demanded by the dark forces. The dark forces had limited members and didn't dare to break the rules, so how could they control the massive number of residents?

Only those residents who worked in the city or had to operate at night would obediently pay the fees demanded by the dark forces.

...

Luo Feng was naturally aware of the rules of the City Lord's Mansion and would not break those bottom lines.

After killing Deputy Leader Lai Mo, Luo Feng waved his hand, collecting Lai Mo's corpse along with the staff and other items he had left behind.

Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang watched calmly. Both of them had guessed the actions of the City Lord's Mansion, but neither of them cared!

"Impressive, impressive," Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang praised, "Luo He Divine Lord, your speed is nearly comparable to traversing the void at short distances!"

"I had no choice; Deputy Leader Lai Mo was fleeing too fast!" Luo Feng replied.

The body technique he had just used was one of the three ultimate techniques of the Duan Dong River lineage, the East Hua!

Deputy Leader Lai Mo had been fleeing from the beginning, and since Luo Feng was distracted by dealing with the million poisonous insects, he had no choice but to use the divine king-level ultimate technique East Hua to completely eliminate Deputy Leader Lai Mo.

"Luo He Divine Lord," Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang said amicably, "You've killed both deputy leaders and collected their treasures. Could you stop now?"

"Stop?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"It's better to have one more friend in this world than one more enemy," Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang said. "The deaths of the two deputy leaders are insignificant. I would prefer to befriend someone like Luo He Divine Lord. To show my sincerity, I'm willing to offer fifty thousand universe sand to Brother Luo He. Would Brother Luo He give me this face?"

"Be your friend?" Luo Feng chuckled, "Do you think you're worthy?"

Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang's expression stiffened, and his gaze grew cold, "Let me ask one last time, how have I offended Luo He Divine Lord? Why must you take action?"

"You killed Diao Rongyan," Luo Feng said.

"Diao Rongyan was an ordinary Eternal True God, hardly comparable to you or me. I killed him merely as part of the survival of the fittest," Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang replied.

"He was accumulating resources through alchemy, a respectable and upright way of living, which I admire. But you dark force Eternal True Gods are all scum! You prey on the weak, hunting down true gods and void true gods to plunder their wealth. You are truly the most despicable among the Eternal True Gods," Luo Feng said. "Every single one of you deserves to die!"

This was indeed what he believed.

Whether serving as a servant, a butcher, or a miner, all of these were honorable ways of life.

The City Lord's Mansion only collected the most basic residence fees from true gods; above that level, everything was free, and they had to maintain order in the city. But the dark forces had no bottom line, squeezing and even madly hunting for fat sheep to slaughter and plunder.

They slaughtered the masses to sustain themselves.

Naturally, Luo Feng despised these dark force Eternal True Gods.

"I understand." Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang nodded slightly, "But I need Luo He Divine Lord to understand, no matter how despicable I may be, as long as I am strong, I remain above others."

"The survival of the fittest is the fundamental truth!" Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang's face, covered in black scales, became twisted and crazed. "I want to see just how strong you are, Luo He, to dare to kill me!"

In an instant, he revealed his true form, towering like a mountain and covered in dense black scales. With a slight swing of his scaly tail, the space around him distorted, and many nearby buildings were destroyed. Some members of the Blood Python Society who were hiding in the buildings were caught in the aftermath and reduced to dust.

"No—"

"Leader!"

Many members of the Blood Python Society saw the massive black-scaled tail emerge from the darkness and recognized it as their leader's. They cried out in anguish, but at this moment, Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang didn't care about them at all.

"Boom!" Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang burned his divine power, his eyes fixed on Luo Feng. His divine body instantly surged with a scorching blood-red aura.

"Die for me!"

A blood-red shadow flashed, cutting through the darkness, and slashed toward the small figure of Luo Feng.

Luo Feng stood his ground, clearly seeing that the blood-red shadow was the massive scaly tail emanating a blood-red aura. The tail seemed to be splitting through a chaotic world, enveloping Luo Feng.

"Whoosh." The terrifying scaly tail slammed down on the spot where Luo Feng stood, causing the ground to sink sharply, but Luo Feng had vanished.

Using the East Hua body technique, Luo Feng instantly appeared at the chest of the towering Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang. His arm expanded, and his hand, shaped like a knife, stabbed toward Mu Yang's chest. This knife strike seemed ordinary but carried the intent of the 'Blade of Life and Death,' one of the Nine Blades of Breaking Worlds. Luo Feng's perfectly refined divine body, with all its boundless power, was condensed into this hand knife.

"Slash—" The knife strike caused Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang's expression to change dramatically. The scales on his chest dented and cracked under the terrifying force, sending him flying backward.

"An armor-type secret treasure? Integrated with the scales?" Luo Feng, aware of his own divine body's immense strength, could tell from the feel of the strike that it had hit an armor secret treasure.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng instantly pursued the retreating Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang. His arm lifted and slashed down, as if wielding a giant axe, with an intent of total destruction. The slash landed on Mu Yang's shoulder.

This slash was the 'Blade of Returning to the Void,' one of the Nine Blades of Breaking Worlds that Luo Feng had mastered during his seclusion. Luo Feng had spent over an era in seclusion, and of the Nine Blades of Breaking Worlds, he had temporarily mastered three blades: the Blade of Life and Death, the Blade of Reincarnation, and the Blade of Returning to the Void. The 'Blade of Returning to the Void' carried the intent of returning everything to chaos, a concept Luo Feng quickly grasped thanks to the 'Avenue of Destruction' mastered by Morosa.

This blade was the most ferocious and destructive of the three.

"Crack~~~" Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang, an Eternal True God at the tenth level, was protected by an armor secret treasure and burning his divine power, yet he still felt an unstoppable force strike his shoulder. The scales were split open and cracked under the force.

"My armor secret treasure was split open?" Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang was filled with dread. "This Luo He's hand knife is like a full-force strike from the Huyang Legion using a legion-type secret treasure. Even with my divine power burning, I can't withstand it."

The Blood Python Society Leader was the first to experience the ferocity of Luo Feng's perfected divine body at its peak.

Too fierce!

Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang even wondered if Luo He might possess the legendary infinite divine body.

"Boom!" As the armor secret treasure was split open, Luo Feng followed up with another attack, clearly intending to tear apart Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang with his bare hands.

Suddenly—

Bang!!!

A massive blood-red hand appeared out of nowhere and slapped Luo Feng, who was charging forward.

The enormous hand was so large, and Luo Feng's body so small, that the slap sent Luo Feng flying, crashing violently into the buildings of the Blood Python Society headquarters, shattering many structures and causing the hidden members to cry out in terror.

"Hahaha, hahaha..." Luo Feng, having been slapped away, stood up with a look of excitement in his eyes as he gazed into the distance. "Interesting, this is getting interesting."

That slap really hurt! It made his perfected divine body feel pain.

"I didn't expect you to have a single-body-type mechanical treasure." Luo Feng could feel his blood boiling. This battle was finally getting truly exhilarating.

"Anyone who has seen this mechanical treasure of mine has died." In the midst of the intense blood-red light, the cold voice of Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang echoed.
